Condukt is a new ‘Universal MIDI controller’ for iOS, iPadOS and macOS.
The app features a database of 200+ synths, samplers and drum machines, and turns your device into a hands-on interface for your hardware synthesizers.
It adds more knobs and faders, new options for modulations, and even several types of sequencers.
The developer has shared examples of Condukt in action, with dozens of different synths, on their Youtube channel.
Pricing and Availability:
Condukt is available now in the App Store for $19.99 USD.
I’m feeling kind of foolish, but I don’t understand what this is.
Let’s you control midi synths and devices using on screen controls and sequencers. Set up sliders for cutoff, resonance, etc.. then little midi sequencers and other tools. If you have multi devices going it can be really handy to setup all the ones you’ll want to be using on one screen.
I couldn’t tell either. It’s an iPad and iPhone-based MIDI control app for hardware. The “device” that gets turned into a hardware controller is your iPad/iPhone.
It’s a modular MIDI interface that’s pre-programmed to integrate with lots of hardware synths. The YouTube video demonstrates it pretty clearly.
In the app store it says “Designed for iPad. Not verified for MacOS” Can anyone verify it runs on MacOS?
Just tested it, it runs on macOS. The interface is definitely more suited for touch input than mouse input, though. And I don’t have any hardware synths to test with it, but I’m sure it works the same as on iOS/iPadOS.
Thanks! Do you know if onscreen controls can be mapped to external controllers?
it’s cool but I’m done with IOS apps. In a few years this will be useless when Apple refuses to update their older hardware with a modern OS.
Can you elaborate on that ? I’m genuinely interested. I recently bought an iPad A16 because I wanted something light for making music on the go. Never been into apple ecosystem before. Thanks !
Ignore that comment of Chris. Apple supports their hardware way longer than any other manufacturer, but people not owning Apple products always complain the loudest for some reason.
Besides that, the iPad is probably the best groovebox/DAW you can get and once you tried out Loopy Pro with a few of the excellent and dirt cheap plugins you’ll save money and overhead buying 50% of hardware. Combine it with a controller and audio interface to connect with other gear and run it through effects, use sophisticated sequencers, yadda yadda. Check out Jakob Haq on YouTube to het a glimpse.
Wah
I’m still rocking the iPad mini my wife gave me that’s super old. Still works fine…
I hate when developers reward Apples extortion pricing by developing exclusively for iOS. I will never buy an apple product.
“Apples extortion pricing ”
LOL – best value in computers, best user experience & literally the highest rated brand in the world by its customers.
Yeah, you show them. Meanwhile people buying Apple products enjoy making music, enjoy insane resale values, when upgrading and I don’t see Apple developers complaining to be honest.
Why are sites reporting this as being $9.99? It’s $19.99 on my App Store.
Thanks for the feedback.
The price WAS $9.99 when we published the article, so it looks like that may have been intro pricing.
I updated the post.
